Wendy Davis Filibuster

State Senator Wendy Davis of Texas, Democrat, is a hero to Leftists and other pro-abortion proponents.

She launched a filibuster to derail Senate Bill 5.

From the Texas Tribune:

SB 5, by state Sen. Glenn Hegar, R-Katy, would make abortion illegal after 20 weeks and would establish stringent new requirements for facilities that perform abortions. Supporters of the bill say it would make the procedures safer for women and protect unborn babies. Abortion rights proponents say the legislation would shut down most of the abortion facilities in Texas.

With barely more than a day left in the 30-day special session called by Gov. Rick Perry at the end of May, that means Democrats have moved much closer to putting the controversial measure within the range of a filibuster.

“I think we are now in a position to try to do what’s right for the women of this state,” said Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin, chairman of the Senate Democratic Caucus. “We need to be protecting women’s health in this state, and we need to be protecting a woman’s right to make choices about her body.”

Sen. Wendy Davis, a Fort Worth Democrat and rising star in the party, has vowed to launch a filibuster. Unless Republicans can change some votes, the abortion measure can’t be brought up for debate until Tuesday morning at about 11 a.m. Since the session ends at midnight Tuesday, that means she could kill the legislation by talking nonstop for about 13 hours.

The pro-abortion mob went berserk as the end of the session approached, screaming to disrupt DEMOCRACY.

From Dallas News:

The special legislative session erupted in chaos late Tuesday over an abortion bill, with an extraordinary protest from abortion-rights advocates watching the debate and uncertainty over whether the measure was properly passed.

Republicans contend that senators voted 19-10 in favor of the bill, almost entirely along party lines. But Democrats said that the vote came too late and that the matter could end up in court.

The extended drama came after Republicans used strict interpretations of Senate rules to knock Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, off her marathon filibuster. The final vote was delayed several minutes by loud applause from the gallery, drowning out the action on the floor.

That followed more than an hour and a half of tense debate over Senate rules and decorum, after Republican Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst ruled on a procedural point that the filibuster must end.

Earlier, as the debate on the bill unfolded, Sen. Eddie Lucio of Brownsville, the lone Democratic senator to back the bill, decried the tens of millions of abortions performed since the Supreme Court legalized the procedure in 1973.

“No one’s talked about the rights of the unborn,” he said. “They don’t have any, because of Roe vs. Wade.”

The legislation, Davis said, adds up to “a greater and greater and greater challenge to women in the state of Texas to do what? To exercise her constitutional protected right to have an abortion, to exercise the most difficult decision of her life.”

So what happened?

Did the bill pass?

Did the crazed pro-abortion proponents shut down the government?

It appears it did not pass.

Texas lt. gov. reverses himself, declares vote on tough abortion bill came too late to pass.

We do know without question that Obama and other celebrities took to Twitter to express their support for Wendy Davis and killing unborn babies.

Who is Wendy Davis?

The Washington Post has a briefing on this "brave" woman.

She's a "fashion icon" in D.C. She wears "pink sneakers."

Good grief.

What the Post doesn't mention is that Davis supports late-term abortion and wants easy access to kill the unborn older than 20 weeks. She's on Team Kermit Gosnell when it comes to supporting the slaughter of babies after 20 weeks of development.

If you've been pregnant, you know at 20 weeks you can feel your baby moving. You feel life.

Wendy Davis is no hero.
